BlackKnightJack ok, here's the deal. Stop spamming your rubbish at my decklists. If you can build a deck, that's actually better, do it and go on with your life. No need to spam hate. If you can't, it's your problem then . Either way, you are missing the point of mtg. There is no fun in creating a meta deck. At least I am not having fun. This is why I try to build budget decks. Fyi, I playtested against your deck and I went 7-3 ... I also have the video at cockatrice, but I won't be a dick and upload it. I will end the subject here and now instead. Have a nice new year and may you have money to buy all the expensive cards you need.

Oh I don't care that you're building budget decks. What I care about is that you GREATLY over-exaggerate what those decks can do and then get incredibly upset when told that your decks aren't nearly as awesome as you think they are.
But thank you for reminding me that I need to upload the videos I took of your B/R deck. I'd like to avoid Youtube if possible, but I'm not sure where else to host them. Maybe I can try to make a Facebook page and use their video player.

BlackKnightJack do it and stop coming around. You are very annoying.

There is a difference in saying that "they are not as good as what we think they are" (which is a fair statement) and saying "had a chunk of their brain missing, but I don't think there are very many people who underwent the same lobotomy procedure that ROUROU did."

andbartwo,LeaPlath i don't reply to comment like yours , because that dude might start to flame you too. I sincerely thank you though, because it's nice to have some people back me up... All I am doing here, is playing casually mtg . I ain't trying to say that I will win a Pro tour. But I can sure as hell put up a good fight. Anyways, thanks for your support guys ;)

Thank you, I was looking for cheap deck to build to my younger brother. I think i found one :D
January 14, 2018 7:13 a.m.
Edwux121 you don't know how happy your comment made me :D

What's very easy to obtain are Woodland Streams at about <0.01$ a piece. Since your deck doesn't have any one-drops, your first turn is always doing nothing. Now, with Woodland Stream you can get both colors and still keep your pace.
Also, if it's not too much for you, Deeproot Elite seems pretty strong in this deck b/c a lot of your creatures are Merfolk. If you can't obtain them thats ok, b/c Merfolk Mistbinder can also serve in it's place.
Riddleform doesn't seem too strong in this build. All of your spells are either sorcery-speed targeting your own guys, which you can't do with Riddleform, or Instants that are made to be cast on your opponents turn and not your own. I would probably replace it with either Silvergill Adept if you're going towards Merfolk or maybe Treasure Map Flip.
I would also take out your Eternal of Harsh Truths for maybe Riverwise Augur. This dude can help you Brainstorm and count as a Merfolk, as well as it being a 2/2 body that's dirt cheap.
Take out Garruk's Horde. There are much better replacements for it such as Scaled Behemoth or another Arborback Stomper. 7 mana is just too much for something that gets targeted by all control-like removal (Vraska's Contempt, Cast Out, etc,)
Other than that, good luck on this budget deck! My brother always says to me: "Make a deck that you can be proud of, not a super-budget deck that MIGHT go 3-1" and I respond with "You just don't get it do you. Money doesn't grow on trees or bushes!"
I am a big fan of budget decks!
January 20, 2018 5:11 p.m.
So what's the budget like now? Mainly asking because the title says 5$, but online says it's $25. Still super budget.
June 18, 2018 7:30 p.m.
Pabs4444 the budget is still 5$ ... I mean you can find all of the cards for 5$ . Heck, most of the cards are common-uncommon. You can get those for free if you ask anyone. At least, i would gift those cards to anyone in need of them! Few are the cards worth over 20C . Plus, point of this deck, is to get in top3 . With the prizes, you can easily upgrade it and make it better and better . Thanks for stopping by! have a nice day !
June 18, 2018 7:49 p.m.
Thank you! Hope you have a nice day as well. Got lost in the confusion. I now get how the goal is to have each individual card be under $5 rather than the deck. Cool. Good luck with the deck!
June 18, 2018 7:55 p.m.
Pabs4444 NOnonono xD The whole deck is 5$ The land base, is free(and i mean 2x Woodland Stream. Wherever you go, you can get those cards for free.
2x Broken Bond = 5 Cents
3x Channeler Initiate = 15 Cents
3x Chart a Course = 30 Cents
2x Glyph Keeper = 4 Cents
3x Merfolk Branchwalker = 75 Cents
3x Nature's Way = 6 Cents
2x Pull from Tomorrow = 40 Cents
2x Ranging Raptors = 4 Cents
2x River's Rebuke = 30 Cents
2x Scaled Behemoth = 4 Cents
2x Shapers of Nature = 4 Cents
3x Siren Lookout = 4 Cents
2x Spring // Mind = 2 cents
Sphinx of Magosi, Rabid Bite and everything else, came for free, from welcome decks! Total Sum is 2.23 Euros!
This Deck has won me over 100 Euros in prizes! with rough maths, this means that i have earned at least 4000% of this deck back! Plus it's VERY fun to play with.
And before you ask me again about the prices, the site i buy from, is cardmarket.eu Look it up

Yeah I think a $5 dollar standard build could beat this $26 deck.
June 19, 2018 9:31 p.m.
SynergyBuild well, it's all about the meta ... but as far as the price goes , this deck is worth less than 5 dollars. :] thanks for stopping by.

this deck isn't $5. you're undervaluing each card. if you hold your mouse cursor over each card, you'll see the tcgplayer value. for example, you say 3 Merfolk Branchwalker total 75 cents, but they're actually $1.80 each. so the 3 copies of that alone already exceeds $5.

cardmarket.eu shows the average prices for this deck to be over 30 dollars. If you use the normal settings you only see the cheapest ones, but given averages, and that means not damaged copies, etc. $30 is cheap.

420Liliana69 hey, I didn't want to be rude, so there is no roasting, and sorry if I came off like a jerk. but the title is misleading, and the deck isn't good. It should be labeled casual. And ROUROU, drop the stupid clickbait, it isn't cool.
June 19, 2018 9:57 p.m.
SynergyBuild I have no point in lying my friend xD I began building this deck, from the welcome decks. My maximum budget, was and is 5 euros... i can probably list the sellers too, if i have their permission. TO, isn't an advertising site tho... Also, everything depends on the meta. I don't know in what environment you play into, but i have managed to beat many times ''Red deck wins'' decks and other ones. Also, can you please state what cards are worth over a dollar-euro? i am interested . Hell, Sphinx of Magosi, is worth 40cents, BUT you can get it for free! Rabid Bite too! Also, you don't need all the cards to be in English.
What would a proper title be ? I mean, i haven't said that i won a pro tour. Neither have i said i win my F.N.M. all the time.PLUS, i am curious about a "real" 5$ that can easily beat this. Not trying to be a douche. Link me the deck and i will credit you. We need more ppl in standard :)
420Liliana69 HEY! last time i checked, Merfolk Branchwalker was 25 cents and he still is! Now, don't go on other peoples' decks and comment like you know everything... i mean, not everyone shops from TCGplayer.
HIS SHOP Now, go check him out and stop spamming

Mono-white aggro using Charge to push 20+ damage by turn four and ornithopters, toolcraft exemplars, skymarcher aspirants, and dauntless bodygaurds costs about $5.38 not including shipping, and beats this one given a mediocre hand.

"ROUROU is showing that it is possible to build a decent deck that will function well against those meta decks and possibly even beat them without spending lots of money."
Yes and he's also failing horribly. This deck does NOT do anything remotely close to what ROUROU claims it does. For all intents and purposes it has no removal and very subpar creatures. Literally all it takes to beat this deck is to run instant speed removal. That is a remarkably bad look for a deck.
